Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife Amy Earnhardt are adored by NASCAR fans. The two are undoubtedly one of the most loved couples in the field. Thousands of fans wait for every new episode of their Bless Your ‘Hardt podcast, which provides them with some interesting conversations. The latest episode made the couple decide which NASCAR driver would babysit their kids.

The Earnhardt couple has two adorable daughters, 6-year-old Isla Rose, and 4-year-old Nicole Lorraine. The family resides in a luxurious home in Mooresville, North Carolina. There are often times when the two might get busy with work, leaving their two daughters alone. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy Earnhardt were made to pick one driver as the babysitter. While Dale Jr. straightaway picked former Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, his wife had someone else in mind.

Amy Earnhardt reckoned that she would want Danica Patrick to babysit her daughters. Mrs. Earnhardt claimed that the former NASCAR icon would be able to teach her kids some exciting activities, including gymnastics. Patrick is known for having an active lifestyle even after hanging up her racing gloves. Moreover, Amy Earnhardt insisted that the female racing icon would provide good company to the two girls.

I’d let Danica (Patrick) do it.” Amy said (48:36). “Danica would probably teach them something cool that I can’t teach them. Like she’s always doing gymnastics as stuff like that too…she does her yoga, and the girls can hang out with her.

Amy Earnhardt said on Bless Your ‘Hardt podcast.

While the 43-year-old was incredibly enthusiastic about such a possibility, she didn’t want to ignore Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s pick. Though, Amy Earnhardt gave a rather simple answer, claiming that Ryan Blaney could also do the job well. Blaney is known for his ability to stay calm even during stressful situations. This has allowed the NASCAR star to avoid lashing out in public even after fallouts during a race.

He would be fine.

Amy Earnhardt asserted that she was not a fan of this attention, but she is learning to deal with it.

I’m not really one to seek out extra attention. Being in a relationship with Dale, there just is a certain amount of that, just because. It’s funny, you sit in the studio and we’re just sitting here talking and it’s just the two of us. I think you forget sometimes how many people are watching or the reach of the show. The extra attention is not really something I love. It’s something I’m going to figure out how to get used to. But it’s not something I wanted.
